9.5/10Beautiful Vegan restaurant. Excellent food, refined combinations. Minimal place well cared for. The desserts are amazing. Definitely worth a visit for those who are begano but also for those who want to taste something different.... he will be positively amazed. The only flaw is that they put you in a bit of a hurry.

The Restaurant is very pretty, food is nicely plated. We got the jackfruit tartar for appetizer and it was amazing. For the mains we felt the main protein could have a bit more flavor (mushroom terrine and lentil tempeh). Staff is nice!

10/10Great restaurant! The only issue was that although the reservation slot has a two hour duration, when booking at 22h, you have to order quickly as the kitchen closes as 22:30h and the restaurant at 23h. Everything else was lovely!!

Hi Beatriz! Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really glad you enjoyed your visit. It’s true that with later bookings, the kitchen and closing times can limit the full experience. We’ll make sure to communicate that more clearly moving forward. We’d love to welcome you back again soon! 💚

+1The food was great and staff were amazing. Great service, although, the restaurant was kind of stuffy and hot. Also there were only foreigners in the restaurant, which I thought was weird. Will come back, still.

Thank you for your feedback, Marta. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and our team’s service :) We’re sorry it felt a bit hot. We’re working on improving the ventilation, especially during warmer days. We look forward to welcoming you back soon :))

i have tried other vegan restaurants and in comparison, this one wasn’t that great. I ordered a Tofu dish and was surprised by the quantity of food which was too less for a main dish, even the taste was not good. we got drinks as well which were just fine, the ambience was good but no air conditioning during 35 C, was disappointing
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project • Owner
Thank you for your feedback, Amisha. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambience, but we’re sorry to hear the rest of your experience didn’t quite meet up the expectations. Due to the current heatwave in Portugal, our AC hasn’t been performing as well as it should and we’re actively working on a solution. We also appreciate your comments on the portion size and flavours, and we’ll take them into account as we continue to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.

This time the food was very deceptioning, especially the dessert, the cream last time I found so incredibly velvety and delicious was a pub le of crumbs and coagulation.

8/10The restaurant had a nice vibe and felt relaxed and friendly. I love the idea of the project but, with the food choices we had, we were underwhelmed by our dishes. I ordered a 'burger' and the texture was very sticky - I felt it didn't work for me as a burger served with bread and fries. My partner ordered tofu wrapped in seaweed - I guess to appear like fish. It did have a 'from the sea' flavour and worked reasonably well. I don't think I would revisit here due to the food being a bit disappointing. However I accept we may have chosen badly with our meal choices and others may have a much better experience.

Thank you for your feedback, Kathy 🥰 We’re glad you enjoyed the vibe and friendliness of the restaurant, though we are sorry the dishes you chose didn’t quite meet up to your expectations. Since your visit however, we’ve updated our menu and we now have an amazing plant-based meat burger that’s incredibly similar to the traditional ones as even the most skeptical of our customers are loving it! We do hope you might give us another try in the future! 🥰

The food was really good, however sangria had some kind of ant floating in it and when questioned one of the staff members she said it was normal because of the small garden at the entrance of the restaurant. She wasn’t quite happy when we asked to replace the jar of sangria for another one (which we think she just took inside and brought the same one back except for the glasses). Apart from that, wee ordered Petiscos Portugueses, Francesinha and Bifana Sublime. The food was really tasty!
Ao 26 Vegan Food Project • Owner
Hi Vranda :) Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and areas where we can improve. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the majority of your meal. Regarding the sangria issue, we do apologize for any discomfort caused. However, the presence of a small fruit fly, while uncommon, can occasionally occur due to our proximity to a garden and our commitment to using fresh produce daily 😊 Upon being informed, our bar staff disposed the cited sangria jar right away and prepared a brand new one to ensure your satisfaction. Our apologies if this wasn't communicated clearly. We appreciate your feedback and we'll use it to enhance our service and communication. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience. Warm regards, The 26 Vegan Food Project Management Team

I am vegan and I appreciate the fully vegan places in Lisbon. However first hand experience was very disappointing, the food is not well cooked, you can notice the lack of hygiene and my friend got food poisoning. The ambience is excellent however the sauces they serve and combine are not well prepared nor combined, they are just there to numb the taste of the main ingredient which lacks of any flavor

Got the mountain shadow (oyster mushrooms), soup, and caramel and chocolate cake. The food was great, although the mushrooms themselves were a bit insipid. Staff was great and the restaurant is extremely pretty.

Hi Checco, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food overall and appreciated our space. It truly means a lot to us. We’re sorry to hear the mushrooms didn’t quite meet your expectations. Your feedback is very valuable, and we’ll be sure to take it into consideration to improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!

7/10It’s ok. The starters are just different types of mushrooms. The ravioli is very good, the other dishes I tried were ok. The desserts are good too, but they burned the sugar on my creme brûlée, so I couldn’t enjoy it as much.
